Magic Masterclass - Level Up: Close Up & Beyond

You heard the news? I’ve only gone and made a four-part magic course, haven't I?
 
Since levelling up from regular "close-up guy" to "pro theatre guy" (and releasing my theatre show as a special), I've been inundated with messages from magicians asking the same question:
 
"How do I make the jump from close-up to stage?"
 
After answering the same questions over and over, I figured I should probably stop sending long voice notes and put everything in one place.
 
So that's what I’m doing people. I’m making a course.
 
Level Up: Close Up & Beyond is a four-part masterclass that breaks down everything I've learned while making that transition myself - the mistakes, the wins, the practical lessons and all the stuff I wish someone had told me years ago. 
 
What's included?
 
The course is split into four modules, each covering a different part of the journey from close-up performer to stage magician.
 
Module 1 – Thinking Big
 
Learn how to make close-up magic play to bigger audiences.
 
Choosing material that works on stage
Making small effects feel huge
Common mistakes close-up magicians make on stage
One-person shows & assistants
Thinking theatrically
 
Module 2 – Stage Technique
 
Learn how to actually perform on stage with confidence.
 
Scripting
Microphone technique
Pacing
Handling volunteers
Managing nerves
Owning the room
 
Module 3 – Building An Act
 
Turn individual tricks into an actual show.
 
Structuring a set
Openers, middles and closers
Finding your performing voice
Using media and technology
Rehearsal techniques
Testing and refining material
 
Module 4 – Perform Like a Pro
 
Everything that happens before the audience walks in. And everything you only learn from doing it.
 
Show prep
Travelling with an act
Tech runs
Lighting
Using cameras on stage
Working with venues and technicians
 
 
You’ll also get exclusive access to a private community of like-minded magicians where everyone can share ideas, ask questions and help each other level up.
 
Consider this the roadmap for taking your magic beyond the close-up table.
 
Who is this for?
 
If you already perform close-up magic and you've ever thought... ‘I’d love to perform on stage, but I don't know where to start’... this course is for you.
 
Maybe you want to add a 20-minute stage set to your close-up bookings.
 
Maybe you're building a parlour act.
 
Maybe you're aiming for corporate events.
 
Maybe you're dreaming of cruise ships or touring your own theatre show.
 
Whatever your goal, this course is designed to help you bridge the gap between performing for a few people and performing for a room full of them.
 
How does this compare to the book?
 
'Jack Rhodes: Unclear Guide to Magic' covers a broad range of topics, including magic on video and stage performance. This course goes much deeper into one specific subject:
 
How to make the jump from close-up magic to stage.
 
There'll inevitably be a little crossover, but the vast majority of the material is brand new, with practical breakdowns, detailed explanations and a clear roadmap you can follow.
 
 
Everything needs a fancy one-sentence pitch nowadays so I’ll leave you with this as I try and not be sick in my mouth:
 
You already know how to do magic. Now learn how to perform it for two hundred people instead of two.
 
 
Please note: 
This is a special pre-sale price of £40. 
You will receive an invitation to join the private Facebook community but the course is yet to be launched. 
Expected release date is end of August.
Once the course is live, the price will go back to the regular sale price (£50) so now is the time to buy if you fancy it!
 
The full course will be sent out separately once it launches.
